Professional Support Staff (e.g., Librarians, Nurses, and Counselors)
8% of 618 FTE Total Staff = 49.44 FTE
6% of 560 FTE Total Staff = 33.6 FTE
Both districts have the same compressed tax rate (1.0000), but District 2 has a much higher property value ($2,916,187,709) than District 1 ($145,968,635). District 1 is a smaller, low-property wealth district with a higher percentage of needy children, yet District 2 receives a larger amount of money. Under the Target Revenue system, high-property wealth districts receive more money. These calculations are a perfect example of our flawed system.
